Bodies. Im Kampf mit dem Körper

It is not an exaggeration to say that this book should be read by everyone who occasionally interacts with girls or women. Or who are women themselves. So: by everyone. From the foreword by Margarete Stokowski.

Susie Orbach examines in detail, with many vivid examples from her therapy practice, our current relationship with our bodies. She looks at optimization mechanisms and beauty ideals, but also addresses epigenetics, surrogacy, hormone therapies, and artificial intelligence, ultimately asking: Are we the last humans living in bodies as we know them? And how can we avoid submitting to a body dictatorship and instead achieve greater diversity, health, and acceptance? There is no doubt that we need to engage more deeply with our bodies. What is important is that we do it now.
